Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

The Vercel AI CLI is an open-source command-line interface that allows users to generate text, images, and video directly from their terminal. It integrates with various AI models through the Vercel AI Gateway, providing a unified interface for multimodal AI generation.

xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 model is now available on the Vercel AI CLI. This model enables users to create videos from an initial image input combined with a text prompt, expanding the CLI's creative capabilities.

After installing the AI CLI via `npm`, you can use the `ai video` command. You provide an input image using the `-i` flag and a text prompt, specifying `grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview` as the model to generate your video.

The AI CLI requires Node.js version 20 or higher. It also needs an AI Gateway API key or a provider-specific key, such as an `OPENAI_API_KEY`, to authenticate and access the integrated AI models for generation tasks.
